Galvanized piping can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years in a house, depending on factors like water quality, environmental conditions, and installation methods. Over time, galvanized pipes may corrode and accumulate rust, which can lead to reduced water flow and potential leaks. Regular inspections can help identify any issues early on. If significant corrosion is noted, it may be advisable to consider replacement.

the pipe with the hot water will.]The piping with cold water as many hydronic systems are over 100 years old and the piping looks as new as the day it was installedAs long as thermo stress and velocity are taken into consideration hot water lines can last longer then their cold countter parts as cold piping becomes more brittle over the years

Why does it take ten minutes for the hot water to travel the last 18 inches to your bathroom tap?
Sounds like you have galvanized pipe. Over time deposits, or scale, build up inside these pipes from the minerals present in all tapwater. This build-up narrows the diameter of the pipe to a very few millimeters, thereby restricting water flow. The best solution for this is to re-pipe, as much as you can, with copper piping. Copper does not have a problem with scaling. If that's too expensive re-pipe with galvanized pipe. One way or another, you'll need to do some re-piping to improve your water flow.
